Sightseeing

There are several routes you can take travelling West from Ironbridge. Either head directly west via Shrewsbury to Welshpool, Llanfair and/or Lake Vyrnwy, or head north-west along the A5 towards Oswestry, Chirk and Llangollen. Both make wonderful days out.
Narrow gauge railway. Another one for the kids!

A good place to enjoy a canal-side walk with a difference: crossing two aqueducts and going through two tunnels (bring a torch!).

Just upstream from Llangollen, this wier was built to supply the Llangollen canal with water from the river Dee. It can easily be combined with a visit to the nearby Chain Bridge and the church at Llantysilio.
